○  英语演讲稿：Ich bin ein Berliner (I am a Berliner)范文  ○

city of west berlin.

while the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the communist system -- for all the world to see -- we take no satisfaction in it; for it is, as your mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.

what is true of this city is true of germany: real, lasting peace in europe can never be assured as long as one german out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. in 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people.

you live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. so let me ask you, as i close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of t

oday, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of berlin, or your country of germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.

freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. when all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great continent of europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. when that day finally comes, as it will, the people of west berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.

all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of berlin.

and, therefore, as a free man, i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner."
